Roddy White Fails To Appear, Gets Arrested

The Atlatna Falcons released a statement concerning the arrest on Tuesday morning:

"We are aware of the incident involving Roddy White. We anticipate this will be resolved shortly and we will have no further comment at this time."

Why Roddy White And Victor Cruz Need To Back Away From The Twitter

The Trayvon Martin verdict was put out there into the Twitterverse this evening...

And, as a news feed, we thought we'd show you this...

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White sent off this gem:

All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid

After sending this gem:

Fucking Zimmerman got away with murder today wow what kind of world do we live in

Well, then...

Decide for yourself how you fall on the trial of George Zimmerman and the subsequent verdict, but what Roddy fired off was pole vaulting over a line of common sense that gets crossed more often than not these days in the era of social media...

It will be interesting to see how Roddy responds and how his employers feel about his thoughts at 140-words-per submission...

As an aside, newly minted Giants WR Victor Cruz sent off the following howitzer on his own:

"Thoroughly confused. Zimmerman doesn't last a year before the hood catches up to him."

Public apologies and retractions in 3, 2, 1...
